What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role where I can contribute to impactful projects, collaborate with a talented team, and continue to grow my skills in full-stack development.

I am a junior full-stack developer who loves building clean, scalable apps with real-world impact. Specializing in the MERN stack, I have hands-on experience leading both civic tech and business projects from idea to deployment. My focus is on user experience, transparency, and making workflows more efficient.

I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where I can learn quickly and ship meaningful features. My development experience includes creating a civic technology platform, redesigning websites for SEO optimization, and building real estate portfolio sites. I am committed to delivering high-quality applications that enhance user engagement and satisfaction.
